Uma coisa é exata e sem discussão, para resolver qualquer que seja o problema ou o método a ser utilizado, necessitamos estudar, escutar, analisar e conhecer o problema em questão .

- Begin creative problem solving by defining the problem clearly and accurately. - Use remote collaboration tools such as brainstorming, mind mapping, or problem statement templates. - Reduce ambiguity and confusion by setting the scope and criteria for the solution. - Facilitate collaborative identification and articulation of the problem among remote teams. - Utilize tools to gather relevant information, assumptions, and perspectives from diverse sources and stakeholders.

A problem is a scenario or difficulty necessitating a resolution. It may involve a question, a task or an obstacle. Problems differ in complexity and context demanding critical thinking, analysis and creativity for effective solutions. The initial step in solving a problem is accurately identifying and defining it. 💡

Esistono molti manager tools per lavorare in modo efficiente in un flusso di lavoro (Monday, Slack ecc...) e possono essere molto utili per individuare un problema di tempo, tecnico o di processo. Ma per un problema creativo? In questi casi, secondo me, serve una semplice ma concisa riunione in videocall con le figure più creative del remote team. Capire insieme: 1. Quale è il problema creativo? 2. Perché è comparso? 3. Perché è un problema / cosa comporta? E annotare punto per punto le riflessioni in un documento. Solo dopo si può passare alla fase di risoluzione.

All of what I suggest can be done through using platforms like Zoom and Asana for collaboration and speaking with stakeholders. Create a risk assessment before problems arise by identifying what the risks are, assessing likelihood and impact, implementing controls to mitigate those risks, and continuously monitoring and adjusting the program as needed. When crisis erupts, identify the problem and stakeholders, resort to your pre-existent crisis communications team, communicate immediately via all applicable channels including social media, and use analytical data. Be swift, direct, and open; take full ownership as appropriate; express empathy; offer specifics; and show empathy. Then have a plan in place for post-crisis response evaluation.

- Encourage creativity by generating numerous ideas without judgment or filtering in the next step of problem-solving. - Facilitate idea generation for remote teams using online whiteboards, sticky notes, or ideation platforms. - Share and organize ideas visually and interactively to explore diverse possibilities. - Leverage tools for techniques like SCAMPER, random word, or reverse brainstorming to stimulate creative thinking. - Enhance collaboration and idea diversity within remote teams through interactive ideation methods.

Generating ideas involves exploring creativity through various techniques. Methods like brainstorming, mind mapping, analogies, reverse thinking, SCAMPER, observation and working within constraints can fuel fresh thinking.

To be open to listen to or have as many ideas as possible without filters, without pre-judgment, letting the mind link the problem to the various ideas of possible solutions is to use creativity and common sense to solve!

To generate ideas: Brainstorm: Foster open discussion. Mind Map: Visualize connections. Reverse Thinking: Challenge assumptions. Problem Reversal: Flip perspectives. Analogous Thinking: Draw parallels. SCAMPER Technique: Apply strategies. Random Stimuli: Use prompts. Idea Box: Collect diverse concepts. Role Play: Assume perspectives. Continuous Learning: Stay curious

Subsequently, the team should aim to generate a multitude of ideas without prematurely evaluating or discarding them. This approach fosters creativity and enables exploration of various avenues. Remote teams can leverage online whiteboards, sticky notes, or ideation platforms to visually and collaboratively share their ideas. These platforms also facilitate the application of techniques such as SCAMPER, random word, or reverse brainstorming to stimulate innovation and produce a broader range of creative concepts.

- Progress in creative problem-solving by evaluating and selecting the most promising ideas. - Narrow down options and focus on feasibility and desirability of solutions. - Utilize remote collaboration tools for collective assessment through voting, rating, or ranking. - Compare ideas based on predefined criteria to aid in the decision-making process. - Apply methods like SWOT analysis, risk matrix, or pros and cons lists for a comprehensive evaluation of each idea.

Evaluating ideas should start by engaging diverse stakeholders, applying specific criteria for different types of ideas and then employ methods like brainstorming, feedback metrics, scoring, shortlisting and validation to get the best forn of idea. 🌟

The phase involves assessing the ideas and identifying the most promising ones. This process aids in streamlining options and concentrating on the practicality and desirability of potential solutions. Remote teams can utilize tools such as voting, rating, or ranking to collectively evaluate and compare their ideas against established criteria. Additionally, these tools facilitate the application of methods like SWOT analysis, risk matrix, or pros and cons lists to pinpoint and evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats associated with each idea.

-Thoroughly review and assess all proposed ideas, to identify the most promising and constructive concepts. -Facilitate a comprehensive discussion of the selected ideas within the team. Implement a structured voting mechanism to collectively agree on the most viable options. -Employ SWOT analysis tools strategically to empower the team in making well-informed decisions. -By implementing these refined methodologies, we aim to streamline our ideation process, ensuring that only the most impactful and strategically aligned concepts move forward in our decision-making pipeline.

To decide which ideas are best, teams should ask: Does the idea fit the problem? Can we do it? What good will it do? Is it new? What could go wrong? How much will it cost? What do others think? Does it match our goals? Can it grow? Can it change? By considering these questions, teams can pick the best ideas that solve problems effectively and fit their goals.

Sinoly develop effective solutions by defining the problem, gathering information, generating ideas and evaluating solutions. Choose the best option, involve stakeholders, create a detailed solution specification and iterate based on feedback.👍

After finding the most coherent idea of the possible solution, we should study, detail, discuss and test the idea before implementing it!

Another useful tool for remote collaboration is a version control system (VCS). In fact a VCS is a useful tool when collaborating whether working locally or remotely. A VCS is a key tool for collaboration, especially in creating and managing digital content. It tracks file changes over time, with the most common type being centralized VCS, using a server to store versions. As a developer, I've used a VCS to collaborate on applications, storing versions locally and checking in ready-to-share content to the central system. One popular VCS is GIT, short for "Global Information Tracker," known for user-friendliness and historical content storage, useful for accessing older content. Imagine a client seeking a previous version of the content.

To develop solutions: Define the problem. Research and brainstorm. Evaluate ideas. Prototype and collaborate. Iterate and refine. Plan implementation. Test and validate. Monitor and adapt.

Next, the team proceeds to transform the chosen ideas into comprehensive and tangible solutions, enhancing their quality and efficacy. Remote teams can utilize tools such as prototypes, mockups, or wireframes to visualize and iteratively refine their solutions in a low-fidelity manner. Additionally, these tools facilitate the application of methods like feedback loops, co-creation, or user testing to collect and integrate input and suggestions from prospective customers and users.

All the above are standard steps in problem solving, however tools like FMEA, Design for Six Sigma can be of great help to prevent the problem at first place. Developing “Risk based thinking” mindset is very essential for first time right or even during problem solving.

The final step involves implementing and monitoring solutions to validate their effectiveness. Remote teams can utilize project management and communication tools to plan, execute, and track implementation activities. Frameworks like PDCA, SMART, or OKR help define objectives and indicators, allowing teams to adjust as needed. Creative problem solving is crucial for remote teams, and using supportive tools enhances results and collaborations.

To solve a problem that appears and may impact the progress of your daily activities you will need to follow some steps and it depends on the organization environment and culture. - first to gather all the concerned teams for a brain storming session with each others, this will automatically filter all the distractions and non import topics. -then follow the impacted areas that will decrease the size of solutions zone and shortening the way to pick the root cause. - once the root cause is defined it will be easy to assign the proper resource and define the duration for solving.

One thing that's indeed helpful is that it's advised to jot down all the ideas without filtering or judging any of those. This way we are open to discussing new and unique solutions. Also we can end up approving more than one of all the listed ideas and in that case we'd need to assign priority levels P1,P2, ...so on to ensure that it doesn't get overwhelming while executing.
